It seems that Xiaomi made new IEMs to succeed(?) their Piston 2.0 which are extremely popular amongst TF.TV users.

I freaking love my Pistons as a 'cheaper' pair of IEMs for using around campus or the gym and they have held up well after many months of abuse. Xiaomi are saying that the 3.0s will be a better than the 2.0s while still being cheaper. Will probably pick them up whenever they go up on sale on Amazon.

Oh sweet, and from the description it seems the volume buttons will work on iPhones on this model!

The right side of my 2.0s pretty much went out a few weeks ago. I believe it's because the grate got pushed in somehow. Honestly surprised they worked this long; a few months ago I was eating Chinese food and I didn't notice my wrist was holding down the wire, so when I lifted my head up, the right side popped out and fell in my egg drop soup. Still worked after that, but I made sure I did the rice thing. I believe the same thing happened when I was eating cereal one time as well.

They honestly sounded better than my $40 Astrotec AM-90s before EQ adjustment. For some reason, they have little bass by default.

Design of this new one looks nice. I think I might buy a pair to finally replace my Apple buds. Would've been the 2.0s but they don't work in iPhones like these supposedly do.

Posting here because I THINK they're legit. I'm not exactly savvy in that area but I know the 2.0's were faked pretty frequently

Can anyone confirm that those are the real deal? Because they're cheaper than the 2.0 right now and my girlfriend wants a pair for herself.

I got my 2.0's from Robert's Super Store and they were legitimate. Not sure about the 3.0's but I plan on ordering them as well. Hopefully they are delivered in about a week, so I'll let you know.

they are significantly more balanced with more accurate bass than the 2.0s some who like neutral coloration may think the 2.0s are boomy the 3.0 resolves those issues.

this is a reputable site i order a lot of chinese electronics off of
